That's unfair. The C++ vendors had since 1998 to implement there features - that's 9 years. Even there intermediate 2003 update is now 4 years old. The new Ada standart is only 2 month old. And still AFAIK there is still only one C++ compiler to support "export". Martin -- mailto://krischik@users.sourceforge.net Ada programming at: http://ada.krischik.com
